The video problem will be fixed quickly by a patch, I'm sure. Hardly anywhere near as annoying as the GNex volume issue.

It's more disappointing than annoying, esp when stuff like Exynos 5 brings unified 1080p60 Hi10P+(?) to the table.

Actually, this could be a Tegra 3 feature. Encode is one area it skimps on over the more powerful HiP encoders found in Exynos4/OMAP4, to reduce die size/cost etc. I don't know if MSM8960 is capable of CABAC encode.
Maybe HTC have an encoder on the ImageChip with the ISP?
 
Hmm P4u will do me an upgrade on Orange with the following:

£33.50pm for 24 months (the £41 equivalent contract)
900 mins
Unlimited texts
1GB data
Free HTC media link
TCO: £804.

How's that sound? Their cheapest deal with decent data for £28.50 and the phone for £110 has a TCO of £794.

Orange themselves still have no clue when they're stocking the handsets!
 
Tried Dialphone, didn't realise they are the same group and same call centre as P4u! So same deal plus £50 credit to beat the first guy I called.

Anyone got anything better on Orange?

Edit: CPW kept me on hold forever, couldn't match the prices, wouldn't honour their price promise and claimed that Orange Swappables are CPW exclusive. Pass.

Orange were utterly useless so I went for the Dial-A-Phone/Phones4U deal of £28.50 for 600 mins / 3000 texts / 1 gig / WiFi with a free HTC media link and the One S.

I think the One X would have been £31 on the same deal but the S suits me better.

Looks like a decent deal, though I already burn through my data allowance of 500MB so would be looking at the 1GB packages.

i think you can upgrade to 1GB for an extra £5,

also i think you can get 3 months test drive with vodaphone where its unlimited.

I dont tend to use over 500mb, now and again i do so ill have to restrict it a bit, Its hard to pass up on a contract that cheap
 
Looks like Dial a Phone have cottoned onto how popular this handset is on the 12 Month Vodafone plan - just seen it jump from £110 to £200 up front fee (OUCH!!!) Hope you guys got in whilst it was on the cheap cos I fail to see how this deal can be beaten!! :)

bloody hell! glad i got mine orderd sharp :D
 
Yeah DAP wouldn't do me any 12 month contracts anywhere near as good as that TCO on Orange so I went with the deal I mentioned earlier:

Panther 41 at £33.50pm for 24 months
900 minutes
Unlimited texts (3000 fair usage)
1GB data
Free HTC media link
Free phone
£50 credit

TCO: £754

They reckon that it's being released towards the end of next week though CPW tried to guarantee me that I'd have it tomorrow on a worse contract (though with the other lies they were spouting I don't believe it).

Had my HTC Desire now for exactly two years and yes, to be honest it's really starting to show its age. It's too slow for modern apps, the boot time is far too long and the memory is way too small. Hopefully the HTC One X has enough internal memory and oomph to last the next two years as two years is a very long time in the technology world!

Saying that, I don't want to be upgrading next year- what with the eventual release next year of 4G hopefully when 2014 rolls round the tech will be bedded in and working nicely.
